Professional Responsbility, Elon University

This course is a study of the professional obligations of attorneys imposed both by regulation and the noble traditions of the legal profession. The course uses hypothetical fact situations and problems likely faced by attorneys to reinforce the model rules of professional conduct and to develop a commitment to ethical decision-making in students. Several Law instructors at Elon University possess undergraduate degrees in literary studies and remain interested in developing further courses that use literature, including a more traditional 'Law and Literature' course. This information has been collected for the Post-Discipline Online Syllabus Database. The database explores the use of literature by schools of professional education in North America. It forms part of a larger project titled Post-Discipline: Literature, Professionalism, and the Crisis of the Humanities, led by Dr Merve Emre with the assistance of Dr Hayley G. Toth. You can find more information about the project at https://postdiscipline.english.ox.ac.uk/. Data was collected and accurate in 2021/22.
